That's actually bullshit and historically, musicians have used even higher reference pitches in the past. The American Standards Association recommended it and it wasn't taken up by the ISO until the fifties.
There are plenty of songs that are different than 440Hz in existence today due to them being sped up or slowed down on tape for a certain aesthetic, especially in the 70s. Pantera has music in 430Hz and I can assure you that it isn't healing.
You can tune A to whatever pitch you want, it really won't matter as the tuning system is equal temperament. If you want to look into the old methodology of Just Intonation, maybe you can find something there.
I truly believe that sound itself can be healing, especially when you consider timbre and sonic quality. However, the 432Hz phenomenon is nonsense.
A recent double-blind study from Italy showed that music tuned to 432 Hz slows down the heart rate when compared to 440 Hz. This frequency fills the mind with feelings of peace and well-being, making it the perfect accompaniment for yoga, gentle exercise, meditation, or sleep.
